Fire Emblem Engage’s story is cornball, yes, but it succeeds by dropping all pretense of being grand. It’s a silly fantasy adventure, understands that, and confidently embodies that. It’s easy to get sucked into a melodramatic fantasy adventure that enjoys itself

There needs to be a Fire Emblem game about a peasant’s revolt without any royalty, gods, or demons. My biggest general critique of FE stories is that they almost always about restoring a rightful king, as if a “rightful king” is good and natural (it is neither).

The bad habit of Fire Emblem isn’t just this, but that the games, esp. Awakening onwards, will often lead with the most annoying/gimmicky/flat versions of characters in the main story, which leads to a lot of the sniping and brawling amongst fans

Related to the Camilla stuff, this is why it's a bad idea to put all of the interesting parts of a character in missable supports. Not every player is going to see a character's best supports, but every player will see how they are introduced.

The most disrespectful thing you can do as a translator is make something boring. All translation takes out vibrancy from a work, and vibrancy must be infused back in. You can never experience a work of art the way its author intended without speaking its original language
